Read the excerpt from a speech that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made shortly after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. What

is Churchill’s intention with this part of the speech?
This is a strange Christmas Eve. Almost the whole world is locked in deadly struggle, and, with the most terrible weapons which science can devise, the nations advance upon each other. Ill would it be for us this Christmastide if we were not sure that no greed for the land or wealth of any other people, no vulgar ambition, no morbid lust for material gain at the expense of others, had led us to the field. Here, in the midst of war, raging and roaring over all the lands and seas, creeping nearer to our hearts and homes, here, amid all the tumult, we have tonight the peace of the spirit in each cottage home and in every generous heart. Therefore we may cast aside for this night at least the cares and dangers which beset us, and make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Here, then, for one night only, each home throughout the English-speaking world should be a brightly-lighted island of happiness and peace.

A.
to remind people about the evils surrounding them
B.
to promote happiness and peace during the Christmas season
C.
to encourage more support for the war
D.
to push for the United States and Britain to become one country

Southerners had a stronger fighting spirit than Northerners because
Alborosie
<span>They were fighting for independence.  Many of soldiers from the South had deep roots in their states.  Many felt strongly about defending their rights and believed the Union was interfering with their rights. Still, the North had more manpower and industry.  When Generals like Grant, Sheridan and Sherman came along, the North turned the tide and won the war.</span>

What did some southern states require from african american voters
Olin [163]

The Southern states, even after slavery was abolished, still held a grudge towards African Americans. They even ended up enacting numerous functions to stop the voting of African Americans, as they thought that if they voted, they would vote for someone that wanted equality. Southerners wanted to <em>keep African Americans oppressed</em> and keep control of the office.

One of the things that the Southern states would do would be <em>literacy tests</em>, as African Americans often did not have the chance to obtain education, many did not know how to read or write. A good amount of African Americans would fail the literacy tests and could not vote.

<em>Poll taxes</em> were another huge thing that kept African Americans from voting, as many did not have a lot of money to spare, as discrimination was still present among workplaces, so they would not make the same amount of money as a white man, so this also kept African Americans from voting.

In <u>1870</u>, the<em> 15th Amendment</em> was finally ratified, which made it so men of any race could vote freely and not be discriminated against.
